Christians give a broad spectrum of answers to the question, “What is worship?” These include ascribing worth to God, performing certain activities during worship services, singing a particular style of song, responding to God with our whole being, and more. That Christians have such a splintered understanding of something as important as worship is far from satisfactory. How Majestic is Your Name aims to broaden our understanding of worship by engaging the subject biblically and theologically as developed in both Testaments of Scripture. As we learn more of God’s design, our daily, weekly, and seasonal practices of private and public worship will be renewed. Foundations are laid by identifying the Old and New Testament words for worship and demonstrating their importance. The object of worship is brought into focus as we encounter the God who is experienced as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The object identified, we consider the people who worship within space and time by engaging in a variety of activities. Not content with simply recounting biblical evidence about the worship of Israel and the early church, the book challenges modern worshipers to allow this biblical theological study to guide their thinking and shape their practice.

-- All-new, expanded version of the classic book that set the tone for the contemporary worship movement -- The signature book from worship pioneer Jack Hayford, founding pastor of one of the best-known churches in America, The Church On The Way -- Integrity Music will be co-promoting this product along with their music CD of the same title from Jack Hayford. The Father certainly doesn't need our praise, yet He prescribes worship as a daily activity. Why? Because, as pastor Jack Hayford clearly shows us, God graces His people with worship as a gift, not a demand. Worship liberates all of God's people to discover genuine wholeness, but only as they recognize and acknowledge the holiness of God. Hayford examines the lives of more than a dozen biblical figures to illuminate the fulfilling effects of worship -- including seven truths Jesus revealed about the blessings of praise. God's grace fills everything He gives -- and everything He calls us to do. And this same grace overflows in a special and unique way on all of us who humbly and wholeheartedly worship God.

In this penultimate volume of his series on preaching Christ from the Old Testament, Sidney Greidanus offers expert guidance for busy pastors on preaching Christ from Psalms. Beginning with a general introduction on how pastors can interpret and preach from the biblical psalms — and why they should — Greidanus proceeds by discussing twenty-two psalms in the Revised Common Lectionary, Year A, supplying the building blocks necessary to preach from Psalms at Christmas, Easter, Pentecost, and other major days and seasons of the church year. In addition to laying out basic homiletical-theological approaches suitable for each selected psalm, these chapters also provide verse-by-verse exposition, bridges to Christ in the New Testament, and ideas for placing the psalmist’s words into contemporary context.

An Introduction to the Psalms from Biblical Scholars Bruce K. Waltke and Fred G. Zaspel Written over the course of 1,000 years, the book of Psalms is a collection of religious poetry voicing a wide variety of human emotions expressed in different genres—imprecatory psalms, psalms of praise, and more. It has become one of the most popular books of the Bible, but most readers have only a surface level understanding of the Psalms and how it fits into the larger historical and scriptural context. In How to Read and Understand the Psalms, Bruke K. Waltke and Fred G. Zaspel give readers tools to learn how to properly interpret and internalize the Psalms. Developed primarily from decades of lectures by Waltke, they explain the various types of psalms, Hebrew poetry, rhetorical techniques, and more. Armed with these tools, believers will discover how the 150 psalms can further fuel their knowledge and love of God. Developed Primarily from Lectures by Bruce K. Waltke: A renowned Old Testament scholar, Waltke taught on the Psalms for decades at Dallas Seminary, Regent College, Westminster Theological Seminary, Reformed Theological Seminary, and Knox Theological Seminary Ideal for Pastors, Teachers, and Students: Readers will be equipped to read, teach, and preach the Psalms with greater confidence In-Depth: Waltke and Zaspel examine specific psalms verse-by-verse and explain the various ways the psalmists themselves convey their message and how their psalms should be read in light of the biblical canon
